πŸ”Š Text to Speech

Type or paste text and have your browser read it aloud β€” powered by your browser's built-in speech synthesis, nothing is uploaded and it costs nothing to run.

About this tool

Have your browser read any text aloud. Choose from the voices installed on your system, adjust speed and pitch, and use it to proofread by ear, listen to an article, or prototype voice lines and accessibility features for your game.

Speech is generated by the Web Speech API built into your browser β€” no upload, no account, no character limit.

How to use it

  1. Paste the text.
  2. Pick a voice, speed and pitch.
  3. Press play; pause or stop at any time.

Frequently asked questions

Why do voices differ between devices?

The voices come from your operating system and browser. Windows, macOS, Android and iOS each ship different ones; Chrome adds a few of its own.

Can I download the audio?

The Web Speech API does not expose the audio stream, so there is no direct download. Record system audio if you need a file.

Is the text sent to a server?

Not by this page. Some browsers' voices are cloud-based and may contact the vendor; local voices work fully offline.
